Finnair offers digital newspapers on its long-haul flights
(Warsaw 14.2.2018) Finnair is making available a wide selection of international newspapers in digital format for customers on its long-haul flights.
Over 50 international newspapers can be read as of February 8 in pdf format through the Nordic Sky portal available onboard Finnair’s A330 and A350 aircraft, including the Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza. Customers can use the portal with their own devices, and do not need to purchase a Wi-Fi connection to access the newspapers.
At this stage the digital newspapers are provided free of charge in both business and economy class of Finnair’s long-haul flights, as well as on the Helsinki-London-Helsinki flight flown with an A350 aircraft.
“We are happy to be able to offer a wide selection of digital newspapers to our international customers,” says Tiina Vesterinen, Director for Customer Experience Development at Finnair. ”With digital papers, customers always get the latest copy, regardless of where their flight is departing from, and we never run out of stock.”
At the same time, Finnair will discontinue distributing paper versions of newspapers on its long-haul flights. Paper issues will remain on European flights until Finnair’s European fleet is also equipped with Wi-Fi later this year.
